Influence of peritoneal residual volume on the results of the peritoneal equilibration test: prospective study
(Sociedad Española de Nefrología, 2023-03)
[Abstract] Background: Categorization of the capacity of ultrafiltration during a peritoneal equilibration test (PET) is a usual step during the monitoring of peritoneal transport characteristics of Peritoneal Dialysis ...
Involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the inflammatory response in human mesothelial cells from peritoneal dialysis effluent
(MDPI, 2022-11-04)
[Abstract] Recent studies have related mitochondrial impairment with peritoneal membrane damage during peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. Here, we assessed the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in the inflammatory ...
Does prior abdominal surgery influence peritoneal transport characteristics or technique survival of peritoneal dialysis patients?
(Karger, 2020-10-22)
[Abstract] Introduction: Prior abdominal surgery may result in peritoneal membrane adhesions and fibrosis, compromising the success of peritoneal dialysis (PD). The impact of this factor on peritoneal membrane function and ...
Peritoneal water transport characteristics of diabetic patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: a longitudinal study
(Karger, 2017-06-21)
[Abstract] Background: Volume overload is frequent in diabetics undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), and may play a significant role in the excess mortality observed in these patients. The characteristics of peritoneal ...
Serum levels of the adipomyokine irisin in patients with chronic kidney disease
(Elsevier, 2016-12-14)
[Abstract] Background. Irisin is an adipomyokine with claimed anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects. This hormone has been insufficiently studied in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Objective. To ...
Inhibition of gastric acid secretion by H2 receptor antagonists associates a definite risk of enteric peritonitis and infectious mortality in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis
(PLOS, 2016-02-12)
[Abstract] Background. Evidences linking treatment with inhibitors of gastric acid secretion (IGAS) and an increased risk of serious infections are inconclusive, both in the population at large and in the particular case ...
Baseline residual kidney function and its ensuing rate of decline interact to predict mortality of peritoneal dialysis patients
(PLOS, 2016-07-08)
[Abstract] Background. Baseline residual kidney function (RKF) and its rate of decline during follow-up are purported to be reliable outcome predictors of patients undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). The independent ...
Identification of targets for prevention of peritoneal catheter tunnel and exit-site infections in low incidence settings
(SAGE, 2016-01-01)
[Abstract] ♦ Background:
Peritoneal catheter tunnel and exit-site infection (TESI) complicates the clinical course of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Adherence to recommendations for catheter insertion, exit-site care, ...
Analysis of ultrafiltration failure diagnosed at the initiation of peritoneal dialysis with the help of peritoneal equilibration tests with complete drainage at sixty minutes: a longitudinal study
(SAGE, 2016-01-13)
[Abstract] Background: Ultrafiltration failure (UFF) diagnosed at the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been insufficiently characterized. In particular, few longitudinal studies have analyzed the time course of ...
